The Anglesey man at the head of the Football Association of Wales (FAW) will be looking for answers when he flies out to Switzerland to help vote for the next head of world football.

FAW president Trefor Lloyd Hughes says the body has not yet decided who it will vote for in the upcoming FIFA presidential election on Friday.

Holyhead man Mr Hughes will fly out to Zurich tonight (Wednesday) with a host of other Welsh delegates to take part in the vote during FIFA’s annual congress.

But uncertainty now surrounds the election after six FIFA officials were arrested and 14 others indicted earlier today as part of a U.S corruption probe.

The case involves bribes “totalling more than £65 million linked to commercial deals dating back to the 1990s for football tournaments in the United States and Latin America”, the Swiss Federal Office of Justice said.

Swiss federal prosecutors opened criminal proceedings related to the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups following the arrests.

Mr Hughes says he will now be seeking “clarity” over the situation when he meets other delegates and FIFA officials during the congress.

He said: “A small delegation is flying out in time for tomorrow and Friday’s meetings in Zurich.”

“To be honest with you, I don’t know more about this alleged corruption than what’s already being reported in the media.

“I’m completely in the dark regarding the whole thing.

“But I hope to discuss the situation further with colleagues from other national associations and seek more clarity on what exactly has happened.”

Current FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who was not named in either investigation, is widely expected to win re-election in a campaign which has been mired in controversy.

Both Luis Figo and Michael van Praag dropping out of the race to allow Blatter’s main opponent, Prince Ali bin al Hussein of Jordan, a better chance of success.

FIFA say Friday’s presidential election will go ahead as planned whilst a re-vote of the World Cups won by Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022 has also been ruled out by world football’s governing body.

Speaking to the Daily Post, Mr Hughes said that the FAW hoped to speak to Prince Hussein before they make a decision on who to vote for.

“As regards the vote, as an association we felt it only right that we speak to Mr Hussein and hear what he has to say before declaring which way our vote will go,” he added.
